Marcos Alonso Real Madrid's dream option, but he's unattainable

It is practically mission impossible for Real Madrid to swoop in and sign Chelsea's star wing-back Marcos Alonso.

The Real Madrid hierarchy are well aware of his many talents but realise he'll be far too difficult to sign, after he joined Chelsea from Fiorentina for just 22 million, a price that now looks a steal.

Los Blancos had the opportunity to sign him in the past, but at the time preferred to extend Fabio Coentrao's contract, and it is now far more unlikely he'll join this time around.
